WHNT for Negative User Reviews
✓ Needs work19 news is my primary local tv news source of choice. They are often directing viewers to their app for additional info. Often, I don't find what they are noting on the app, or it takes too long. Then if I do find it, and want to share it by "text", usually the "save" button in the upper right corner is blocking me from being able to select the icon. Yes, there are generally other options within the article for sharing. I typically share via text, or email. These other options don't help in that regard. Though one is email, it is an imbedded email service, whereas you have to type in your info, which presumably goes into a database, which I am not desiring to add my email address to. Basically it does not send you to phone email app with the link. If it were to do that, it would also, at least provide me the option to copy link and paste to text, but it doesn't!.Version: 5.9.1
✓ App locks up when there’s an updateI do not take kindly to apps that force me to update them NOW when I typically do not have time and am trying to access information. It’s a fine app but it should not be forcing me to update it with no option to delay until later..Version: 41.0.1
✓ Problems - needs updateI’ve been having problems with this app for weeks. It stops refreshing and I can never see articles past a certain point. Update the app..Version: 6.5.1
✓ Old app was betterI find the redesigned app to be more confusing with all the ads. No way to go back easily if you tapped one. Slow loading on live stream. To many redirects to your webpage. Not happy with it. 😐.Version: 6.0
✓ SPAM notificationsWHNT app sends out notifications for sponsored content like IHOP. I only want notifications for LOCAL NEWS. The only notifications I allowed in the app we're breaking news and weather, IHOP adverts are neither!.Version: 5.16
✓ NEW APPThe app released Feb 19,2021 is very poorly designed. It is designed for those that can “watch” the news while they are at work, not those of use that may need to catch a “quick read” of a breaking new item. Very disappointed. There are less articles of interest that before. Maybe you should have considered updating your news articles more often than once a week instead of revamping in app to something so unappealing. It has no design flair very basic like something a 6 year old might do..Version: 41.0.1
✓ Alerts never connect into storyEvery time I get a pop-up notification from this source and click on it, it immediately goes through a pop-up advertisement which I dismiss, and then I can’t ever find the breaking news story that made me come to the site to start with!.Version: 41.9
✓ Almost worthlessI previously reviewed that this app was worthless. Well, not it is almost worthless. By that I mean, sometimes I can actually read one story or two before it crashes. After repeated openings and crashes, one is able to read the stories. Finally, the app is great in portrait view (when it works) but does not allow switching to landscape view. Guess only made for iPhone - not iPad. Please fix..Version: 5.0.2
✓ I Hate This RevisionI have been using this app as my primary news source for the last two years. This latest revision is awful. It requires too much scrolling just to see the stories and ads pop up in the browser for seemingly no reason requiring you to close the browser and go back to the news app. Please bring back the grid that shows all the top stories on one page with a short synopsis and fix the pop up problem. Better yet go back to the previous version. It was way better than this one..Version: 3.0.0
✓ Crashes a lotI prefer to receive my news from WHNT, but sometimes the app is quite frustrating. Many times I find a story that indicates a video is included, but have to search for the video from an alternate source due to absence of play feature on this app. Recently, I find that in the middle of reading a story, the app crashes to my home screen. I hope there is an update in the works..Version: 5.4.0
✓ AwfulYou don’t have a search feature and the layout is awful. We need yh3 old app back..Version: 41.2.1
✓ Don't like updateBeen using WHNT app for yrs. Unfortunately don't like the latest update (or being forced to update it). This version not as user friendly or streamlined. I get that it "looks" cleaner, with the category folders, but it seems cumbersome to go through the folders to find interesting stories. The weather section is not user friendly at a glance..Version: 2.0
✓ FrustratingThe version of the app has changed several times since i first downloaded it, quite some time ago. The latest version will only refresh when it wants to, not when i refresh it..Version: 6.0
✓ March For Life in Washington DCWhy was there no coverage of the 2019 March for life in Washington DC???.Version: 6.2.3
✓ Notifications are clickbaitThis was a fantastic app until the notifications turned to clickbait. Would prefer to be notify with the news lead, not “click to find out where it happened”..Version: 41.8
✓ WHNTPros: local news, sports, and weather without having to open a browser and navigate unoptimized web pages. Numerous weather views. Cons: most news stories listed aren't even local, but rather national AP stories. No pictures or video. Feeds only updated a few times a day. No animated radar. No ability to zoom or change overlays on weather maps. No keys for maps. Unclear when weather data was even last updated. Good to see them trying...I guess. And it IS free, but my suggestion is to subcribe to the various local RSS feeds in your reader of choice and download the weather app of your choice. Or use Weather Underground's iPhone optimized website. I KNOW Huntsville has enough out of work computer science folks to do better than THIS!.Version: 0
✓ No arrow to get out of videosWhen I watch the videos of stories there is no why to get back to news . No arrow to get out of videos . I use my iPad for app ..Version: 41.9
✓ Good If You're In Their Coverage AreaIt's difficult to rate this app, because it's really going to depend on if you're are in WHNT's broadcast area. If you aren't, this isn't going to be of any interest whatsoever to you. If you are, it's pretty much the best and only option to get North Alabama news through an iPhone app. It delivers a number of local headlines to you in a manner much more effecient than going to WHNT's iPhone compatible site. However, the navigation is pretty rough and not all news stories make it's way from their site to this app. Also, it'd be nice to be able to view video news stories from this app. It needs a lot of work, but it's a great start. If you live in North Alabama, it's a great download. If not, it's not really worth your time..Version: 0
✓ Freezes UpLately the app freezes up shortly after I start using it. Please fix!! Not usable!!.Version: 6.10.3
